The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

I couldn't see an appropriate thread to use, so I thought I'd create a new one for those of us who have music or performances featuring [gasp!] non-Mats guitars. Yes, Virginia, there are such things. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to where it should be.

Long story short, I finally managed to transfer that oft mentioned old VHS live performance tape to disc. The original quality was not great and of course it degraded when I made the dub of it 24 years ago [gasp again!]. You can read a bit more about it on my web site, and of course, watch the small clip I excised and worked on a bit. Hope you enjoy:

Young Barry covering John Fogerty! Well done - love it, both the song and the interpretation!
Wives in the band? Doesn't work, believe me! (Mrs mozart was singing background vocals in my band for a couple of months ). It's better to have them in the front row to pay homage to their heroes!
Mine was weaponed with these "Throw off sparks things" (don't know the english term) at the following video sequence:

2008 performance of "Marlene", a song I've written in 2005 about my youngest daughter.
The Band is called "The Other Kind", I'm stage left, playin' slide on a (non-mat ) Dean resonator guitar.
Hope you like it in spite of the poor video quality!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!!

Thanks Johann.
Yeah, the husband-wife thing was OK but they weren't long in the band. They moved away and last I heard were making babies and country music!
I never had a wife in the band, but I did have a *ahem* relationship with the large breasted keyboard player in our last big band. That did cause some distraction and friction I must say. Everyone was happier when we broke up.

We call them "sparklers" over here.

Good stuff. I Like the tunes. Played "The Old Man Down the Road" 5 nights a week for about a year or so, "back in the day".
Old videos, what fun !

Thanks Scott.
Yeah, it's a mixed blessing seeing yerself as a younger man. I still feel that way inside my head, but then the mirror reveals the ugly truth!

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Thank your drummer, too, 'cause now I won't feel odd posting videos of me wearing wigs on stage...
